Poem for Pack Meeting

[scottawildcat]

Would the following be poem be appropriate for a cub to recite at a pack meeting?

 

One bright day in the middle of the night

Two dead boys got up to fight

Back to back they faced each other

Drew their swards and shot each other

A deaf policeman heard the noise

Drew his gun and stabbed the two dead boys

[SSScout]

I suppose it would depend on the context. Comic recitations, sure. Patriotic inspiration, mmmmm probably not.

 

Little Willy in a fit of gore,

Nailed his sister to the door.

Said his mother, feeling faint:

"Willy, please don't spoil the paint."

 

Willy saw some dynamite,

Didn't understand it quite.

Curiosity seldom pays,

It rained Willy for three days.

 

Yesterday upon the stair,

I saw a man who wasn't there.

He wasn't there again today!

Gee, I wish he'd go away.

A slightly better version -

 

One bright day in the middle of the night,

Two dead boys got up to fight.

Back to back they faced each other,

drew their swords and shot each other.

 

A deaf policeman heard the noise

and ran to save the two dead boys.

And if you don't believe it's true,

go ask the blind man, he saw it too.
